259. Qu family
This case involved the death of a member of the mission, and Emperor Taijia was very face-saving and ordered the three halls to be tried.
In the magnificent and huge trial hall, the criminal department, the imperial history platform, and the first official frame of Dali Temple were put out, and the momentum was huge.
All the people who came to watch the case jumped in their hearts, and they couldn't help but think calmly, and their expressions were solemn, ready to listen carefully to the trial.
Aliens are even more arrogant, thinking about putting on a more arrogant posture, even if they really catch the right person, the case is rigorous, and they can't find fault and ridicule Daxia, and they have to seek some benefits as a victim. Who knew that when he experienced this moment on the scene, he couldn't help but be in awe......
Zhao Zhu was very satisfied with the expression of the aliens, and made a gesture, and the court official over there began to present the case with a stern and solemn face, and ordered the messenger to take the prisoner to the court to formally hear the case.
Because all the preparations in advance have been made, this time the hall is very smooth.
In terms of witnesses, Zhao Zhu prepared a colleague from the Honglu Pavilion Libazheng, or a subordinate who had the opportunity to see him act. These people stood up and pointed out the suspicions of Ba Zheng's behavior, and said that the tung oil in Baihe Dashi's room suddenly disappeared, and found unwashed clothes stained with tung oil in Ba Zheng's room, pointing out his crime of burning Baihe Dashi.
The direction of physical evidence, one is the tung oil that Fang just said, and the other is the jade ornament that was also found in Ba Zheng's room, stained with cinnabar and a small amount of blood. The jade ornament modeling materials are quite distinctive, and at a glance you know that it is commonly used by the Xixia people. There were a few people in the Western Xia mission who were close to Wu Zanglu, and when they came up to take a look, they immediately recognized that these were the things of the deceased who did not hide Lu, so this fact is also very obvious.
As for the Liao envoy Jin Yanmu, although the subordinates disguised as foreign merchants have been wiped out, the testimony of Sun Qiang's brothers and sisters is still available, and Jin Yanmu and Ba Zheng have a holiday, everyone in the hall knows about it, and some people have seen them fight.
โฆโฆ
In addition, Ba Zheng himself confessed to the murder, and even insulted the three deceased who deserved it, and if he offended him, he would have to die...... Everything is very reasonable, even the murderous watch is so natural, no one can pick out the thorns.
Aliens can't make trouble, and even the most thoughtful Yeluqi can't find an excuse. This case involves personal grievances, although the murderer Ba Zheng works in the Great Xia Honglu Pavilion, but strictly speaking, he is not a native of Great Xia, but just an abandoned clansman of the Bagan Qilan tribe, Great Xia pities him and gives him a bite to eat, like them, Ba Zheng is also a foreigner.
The deceased is a foreigner, the murderer is a foreigner, personal grudge and vendetta, it is not about the affairs of the people of Daxia, it doesn't matter if people don't care, but Emperor Taijia of Daxia is righteous, and he works hard to do this, and avenges the deceased of foreign races.
When people are blind, or when the king of Hades is a vegetarian!

Groups of aliens stood in circles, looking at the three solemn and majestic officials in the hall; Look at King Ping, who is sitting quietly on the side, and his momentum is the same as that makes people want to kneel, one by one he shrinks his neck and pulls his sleeves, his eyes wander, like a quail.
After the case was completed, Emperor Taijia's holy decree was issued in a timely manner, and Zhao Zhu and the three of them solved the case within half of the time limit, with excellent personal ability, especially Lu Li's one-handed autopsy skills were eye-opening and unforgettable...... Appreciate the many treasures of King Ping, reward Lu Li Shen Wansha with a gold medal, and a five-grade official body......
After the eunuch left, Shen Wansha laughed, "Open your little eyes and take a good look, no matter how difficult the case is, we can solve it!" What do you say that you are afraid that the case will not be solved when you leave, and ask the emperor to write a letter to your monarch, which is really beautiful! โ
Yeluqi's face darkened, his fists clenched, and his head hung lower. When he said this, he really felt that the case was mysterious and could not be solved within a month!
His younger brother Yeluwei jumped out, pointed at Lu Li angrily, and yelled at Shen Wansha, "What are you beautiful, if it weren't for him, would you be able to solve the case?" โ
Shen Wansha smiled even more cheerfully, and went over to hug Lu Li's shoulder, "It's up to him, but he is also from our Great Xia, and he is my good friend of Shen Wansha......" The young master squeezed his eyebrows proudly, "We are so good, we are so powerful, we are so angry!" โ
Jeluwei: ......
He jumped up and shouted again, but Yeluqi hugged him from behind, and at the same time covered his mouth, and his face was about to cramp, "Don't mess around!" โ
โฆโฆ
The aliens were ridiculed, and they retired in twos and threes, Guo Yang couldn't get used to Shen Wansha's sรจ, so he came out and asked gloomily, "Very proud?" โ
Shen Wansha rolled his eyes, "Young Master is just happy, how about it!" "Where did this annoying thing come from?
"Hate me?" Guo Yang smiled yinyin, and the flesh on his face trembled.
Shen Wansha snorted coldly and ignored him, how obvious is this, it's worth asking!
"Before you...... Doubt me. Guo Yang squinted his eyes and smiled, "You hate me, and you can't avenge me and help me clear my name?" โ
Shen Wanshadeng's eyes widened, "You-"
"Hahaha-" Guo Yang was proud this time, he raised his chin and glanced at Shen Wansha, flicked his sleeves and left with a laugh.
Shen Wansha jumped to his feet angrily, "Isn't it just a guy who eats with his father, what's the spirit!" One day, the young master will kill you, he will definitely kill you! โ
After scolding, I felt that it was wrong, and I seemed to be ...... No, the young master puffed out his face, "I not only rely on my father, but also on my mother!" I still have little oaks! โ
Lu Li sighed and smoothed the hair to the unhappy little friend, "Good girl, I've always been there." โ
Shen Wansha flattened his mouth, "If I were you......"
"The young master is also very good," Lu Li comforted him, "Sometimes I also want to be a young master." โ
โฆโฆ
The two of them walked out while talking, and when they walked to the door, Shen Wansha was already very happy coaxed by Lu Li, "When you are unhappy in the future, I will be Lu Li, and you will be Shen Wansha!" โ
After speaking, he set up the frame, held his head high with his hands behind his back, and stepped down the steps with a stern face, "I'm Lu Li!" Well, I'm Lu Li! โ
Lu Li let him make trouble, and watched him take a strict step with a small face, as if he was still paying attention to every step...... almost laughed and fell into Zhao Zhu's arms, the young master was too funny!
Zhao Shu supported Lu Li's waist with his big hand, his eyebrows were slightly constricted, and his expression was very strict.
Throwing herself into her arms in broad daylight, does your daughter-in-law want it? I really had no choice but to go back quickly to meet the requirements......
Everyone walked down the steps with their own thoughts, and when they turned over and got on the horse, there were two cardamom girls in the corner of the wall in the distance.
Both girls are wearing patched coarse cloth clothes, no jewelry around them, and their hairstyles are not exquisite, but they are young and beautiful, and even if they are not in size, they are also a little girlish.
The girl standing on the right had a slightly yellow complexion, and her courage seemed to be a little small, and she pulled the sleeve of the girl on the left tightly, "Come out, Minmin, are we going to go in and complain?" โ
The girl named Min Min has a fair complexion, big eyes, and a clear and aura, "No, the adults have just finished the three sessions, and now they are very tired, so it is not appropriate to disturb." โ
"Oh......" the girl on the right stroked her chest and exhaled long, "It's good if you don't go, but it scares me to death." โ
Min Min's eyebrows furrowed slightly, took the girl's hand, and looked into the girl's eyes, "Xin'er, if you are afraid, I can do this alone, how can I say it...... It's also my own business. โ
The girl named Xin'er immediately shook her head, "No, Minmin, you are young and easy to be bullied, I want to accompany you!" โ
"You're not the same age as me......"
"But two people are not afraid when they are together!"
โฆโฆ
As soon as the case ended, Lu Li thought about meeting Qu's family. After the spring hunt, the Cheshire Lord's flower banquet had already been held, but the case was sensitive at that time, Qu Jiu was involved in the case, and Lu Li did not have too much contact with the Qu family in order not to affect his judgment, and now he ...... It's time.
Lu Li went to Shen Wansha's house and begged the Lord of Cheshire.
It's not impossible for him to come to the door by himself, but it will be better to have a familiar middleman on both sides to string together. Although it is rumored in the market that Miao Hongxiao is very cared for by the Qu family, Lu Li does not know what the truth is, he is doing this with good intentions and does not want others to misunderstand a little.
The Cheshire Lord laughed after listening to Lu Li's words, "Is this still worth using the word 'begging'?" I don't even know how to thank you for bringing that stupid son of mine to be sensible and smart, so don't say it again in the future. โ
The Cheshire Lord smiled and pushed Lu Li out to play with Shen Wansha, and went out to the Qu family in a hurry.
Lu Li was a little embarrassed, but Shen Wansha didn't care, "My mother is that kind of character, anxious!" She is good friends with the Qu family's wife, and she wants to play for five days in ten days, and she has to go in to drink tea by the way, she is used to entering the gate of the Qu family, and she doesn't even need to post it, today it is said that it is for you, maybe it is itchy hands and wants to wipe the cards with the eldest lady of the Qu family by the way! Don't worry about it, come, let's go play in my little building! โ
Shen Wansha's small building Lu Li is not the first time to come, but the feeling is different when he returns. Because the young master has a temperament that jumps out, he doesn't like a single style, and he has money and leisure, so the room layout will be changed after three days. Don't look at the young master who only likes to wear golden clothes, the decoration in the room is not all golden, as for the style definition...... The young master said, it all depends on the mood at the time.
After admiring the decoration of the small building, Lu Li praised the young master from head to toe, the young master was not beautiful, and pulled Lu Li to the window to play Shuanglu.
Shen Fuxia is very tall, he walks without sound, the tea is good tea, the dim sum is also very chic, Shen Wansha is very noisy, Lu Li spent a very pleasant morning.
After lunch, the carriage of the Qu family to pick up people came.
Also in the car was the Cheshire Lord's personal mother. After she smiled and asked Lu Li to get into the car, she stopped Shen Wansha, who wanted to follow behind, "The county lord said that Mr. Lu is related to the Qu family, and the first time they met and recognized each other, it must be very lively and exciting, and the young master should not follow." โ
Shen Wansha flattened his mouth, a little unhappy.
Lu Li lifted the curtain and greeted him, "Young Master come together, it's okay." โ
Shen Wansha thought about it and refused, "You go by yourself this time, and I'll follow you next time, otherwise my mother will definitely scold me." "His mother is right, it's really not suitable for outsiders to be present at such a time.
Worried that Lu Lizi would persuade him again, Shen Wansha simply turned around and ran towards the door, "I remember that there is something else, Xiao Lizi will see you back!" โ
Lu Li shook his head and smiled at the mother, "Thank you to the county lord this time, young master, please instruct your subordinates to take care of it." โ
The mother saluted, "Mr. Lu is polite, the old slave can save it." โ
โฆโฆ
Sitting in the carriage to Qu's house, Lu Li was not nervous, but he was very curious about the place where Miao Hongxiao lived...... How is it?
I don't know if it's because of the legacy of the previous relationship, or because of the news collected along the way, Lu Li is very interested in Miao Hongxiao, this woman is a strange woman, her identity is a mystery, her origin is unknown, and she acts freely and easily comparable to a man...... Lu Li was a little sorry that he couldn't get to know her.
When he entered the gate of Qu's house, as soon as he lifted the curtain, he was surrounded by a group of people in Wuyang, Lu Li was startled, and he was really a little nervous.
There must be at least 30 people in this group, all of them are tall and big, with strong shoulders and backs, slightly dark complexion, straight eyebrows, and slightly square chins, and similar appearances.
Lu Li looked at these faces in a daze, could it be that they were all ...... The Qu family?
Qu Jiu squeezed everyone away, "Get out of the way of you fools, look at my brother!" โ
Everyone was not convinced, "You are stupid!" Get yourself into a homicide, if it weren't for Xiao Oak, you would have gone to prison a long time ago! โ
Lu Li: ...... Small oaks?
He and the speaker...... Doesn't seem familiar?
Qu Jiu relied on meeting Lu Li, and walked to the carriage with a smile, "Little Lizi, are you scared?" Don't pay attention to this group of second goods, come on, and play with your brother. โ
Lu Li was only stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, got out of the car with the corner of his robe, and before he could stand firmly, the Qu family quarreled again.
"You're so stupid, what are you going to play?" A big man with particularly thick hands stood up and pulled Qu Jiu away, and tried his best to smile kindly, "Come on, little oak, go play with the third brother." There are a lot of clay molds there in the third brother, small buildings, rockeries, ponds, everything! There is a palace and a garden......"
Before he finished selling himself, he was squeezed away by a slightly thin man, and his voice was very disdainful, "You are just playing with mud, our brother is an elegant person, how can I play with you in mud?" The man turned to Lu Li, and his face almost burst into laughter, "Come to Xiao Lizi, is it okay to go lotus picking with Brother Eleven?" We can write lotus-picking poems, and we can also play with the water......"
"Ahh Come on, Little Eleven, you still write poems, don't your brushes be dipped in oil and brush chicken wings, are there any new ones? Washing it off is also a cumin smell! Another person squeezed Qu Shiyi away and looked at Lu Li like a wolf grandmother looking at Little Red Riding Hood, "Don't listen to them, come, go play with my brother, my brother has good things there, none of them know about ......"
Lu Li: ......
Oak ...... Brother...... Brother...... Did he fall into some wonderful world?
But the enthusiasm of the Qu family is very pure, and he is so popular in all eyes...... Lu Li was a little embarrassed, and smiled crookedly, "Okay, I'll go to meet the elders first, and then play with my brothers." โ
"Smiled!"
"It's so pretty!"
"That's it, it's really like Aunt Miao......"
"Bah, little eleven, have you seen Aunt Miao, just say it's like!"
"I, I've seen paintings, Aunt Miao is so beautiful, the same as the little oak!"
Lu Li: ......
Qu Jiu pulled everyone away again, "It's all said, don't scare my brother!" โ
He came over and pulled Lu Li's hand, "The grandparents and uncles at home are not here, and they will not be able to come back until later, the Lord of Cheshire is also wiping cards with my mother, so I don't have time to pay attention to us, Xiao Lizi will go around with us first, and take a look at the Qu family!" โ
Lu Li had no choice but to be.
The brothers of the Qu family glared at the hands held by the two, "I really want to touch my brother's tender hands......"
"That's right, why can't we touch Xiao Jiu and ......?"
"Knock him away!"
So the next moment, Qu Jiu disappeared from front of him again.
Lu Li: ......
After getting familiar with the environment, Lu Li calmly walked in the inner courtyard of the Qu family, and looked at the Qu family's house while letting these people make trouble.
The ancestral craftsmanship of the Qu family is to build the industry, the most basic thing in the industry is to build a house, Lu Li does not know much about architecture, but along the way, I feel that the building in the courtyard of the Qu family feels very special, it seems ordinary, but it is not simple, it seems to have some inner show, take a look, I can't see anything special, the more I look at it, the more I like it.
There are five ridges and six beasts on the house, the lotus ridge is atmospheric, the gable mountain flower is exquisitely carved, and even the tube tile nail cap is the beast's...... Lu Li looked at these, and he couldn't say how he felt in his heart, but he felt that it was very simple and atmospheric.
While admiring it, the words of the Qu family brothers floated into his ears.
"Oh, why isn't it my sister......"
"My brother is also very good! Soft and tender! โ
"That's right! My brother is very good, I've never seen anyone with a brother who looks so good-looking and so cute! โ
Qu Jiu fell in the back and couldn't squeeze into the front row, and reminded in a faint voice, "Little oak will do an autopsy...... "Scare you!" Hurry up and let Lao Tzu pass!
The conversation suddenly stopped. After a while, Zhengjia continued excitedly, "The autopsy is very good! โ
"Yes, I've never seen a brother's autopsy to death!"
"Our little oak is unique!"
As he spoke, someone was worried again, "My brother is so good, there will definitely be wolves who want to bite it, just like Aunt Miao did back then......"
Lu Li almost fell, what does it mean that there will be wolves that want to bite it so well...... And what happened back then, it seems that Miao Hong laughed at Lu Shaoxuan?
The hot-blooded Qu family brothers didn't care what Lu Li thought, and immediately expressed their feelings, "So we have to protect our younger brother!" โ
As soon as these words came out, the number of people who responded, the Qu family was like a chicken blood, and they couldn't wait to hide Lu Li now and not let the bad guys see it!
In fact, there is already King Ping by his younger brother's side......
Qu Jiu shrunk his neck at the end, he wanted to say this sentence but didn't dare, for fear of being beaten to death if he said it......
Lu Li is from modern times, he is not a shy character, he has been with Shen Wansha for a long time, and he also loves to play and make trouble, so he simply watched everything they invited him to watch with the Qu family brothers, and invited him to play, and he also played a lot of fun, and a group of people quickly became acquainted.
The younger brother trusts people so easily, and he mingles with them so quickly, of course the Qu brothers are very happy, but after being happy, they are worried, so they are better deceived and must be protected!
โฆโฆ
In short, Lu Li's experience in the Qu family is very special, lively and amiable.
In the evening, when the Qu family members came back, Lu Li, under the guard of the Qu brothers, walked to the main room and greeted the elders one by one. The elders were very excited to see him, with tears in their eyes, and said "Okay, good", but they were not enthusiastic, just as a meeting gift, Lu Li received a few boxes......
At the dinner table, there is no rule of not saying anything, the Qu family talks about the warm past in their memories, and sells jokes about the juniors; Lu Li told about the past years, and how he came to Beijing along the way...... Everyone chatted and talked, laughed and had a good time.
After the banquet, seeing that the time was getting late, Zhao Shu might come over to arrest people in person, Lu Li hurriedly called the head of the house and asked the most concerned questions. In the future, they will be in Beijing together, and they will spend more time together, and they can talk about things slowly, but Miao Hongxiao is the only thing he needs to know.
The head of the Qu family is Qu Jiu's grandfather Qu Youliang, the old man is nearly seventy years old, in good health and spirit, at the dinner table before, he was the one who laughed the loudest, listening to Lu Li ask about Miao Hongxiao, although there was still a smile on his face, his expression was a little more dignified.
He looked at Lu Li, who looked very similar to Miao Hongxiao, sighed, and talked about the past.
Regarding Miao Hongxiao's origins, the Qu family doesn't know much. Miao Hongxiao has no kinship with the Qu family, because Qu Youliang's father was saved by the suzerain's order, so when the suzerain entrusted Miao Hongxiao, the Qu family was duty-bound.
Qu Youliang knew that Miao Hongxiao had a master, and his master was holding the sect master's order and was the sect master of the rivers and lakes. The lineage of this master is very mysterious, and it seems that there are countless forces under him, but in fact, the number of people is very small, and the selection of apprentices is also very strict. As a disciple, physical qualifications are important, but not the most important, but more important is the person's heart, virtue, and potential in a certain direction...... We must have a sense of responsibility and have the consciousness of 'the rise and fall of the world, and the husband is responsible'.
The sect master has his own power in the Great Xia rivers and lakes, and he also has a place that belongs only to him. There are immortal mountains overseas, the name pierces the clouds, the perennial clouds and mist are shrouded, the waterway is lost, it is difficult to see it if it is not destined for people, and the land of the suzerain is on this island.
Therefore, on the order of the suzerain, the word 'piercing the clouds' is written.
Speaking of this, Qu Youliang seriously told Lu Li, "This is a secret, if it weren't for the different circumstances at the time, the old sect master would not talk about it from me, you know it now, and you can't say it outside." โ
Lu Li nodded and asked him, "What happened at that time?" โ
"I don't know, the old sect master didn't say much to this outsider, only that the sect might be in danger, ask me to take care of Ah Xiao on my behalf, and said that I should pay attention not to be detected by Ah Xiao." Qu Youliang's eyes were gentle, "Ah Xiao was young when he was young, and no matter how smart he was, he couldn't beat the old sect master." The old sect master didn't tell her the truth, only said that the disciples in the sect had to practice in the red dust when they reached their age, looking for their own fate, and said that they were not allowed to return to the island until they were found, so she believed it......"
